This arrived as a trade for the Bacchus Venus. It’s hard to go wrong with a Stingray. This was the three-band EQ version and, to be honest, I found the much maligned mid control quite useful. A small boost really helped cut through without losing the classic Stingray tone. I liked this bass but, once the Godlyke arrived which covered much the same ground, it fell down the pecking order and I eased it on out the door.
